Silent Cloud Acoustic Underlays & Soundproof Mats

Silent Cloud Acoustic underlays are premium, high-density recycled rubber mats engineered to tackle one of the most common problems in multi‑storey buildings: impact and airborne noise. Manufactured from around 94% recycled rubber and weighing approximately 950 kg/m³, these mats provide serious mass for sound isolation without adding excessive thickness. The Silent Cloud range offers two thicknesses—3 mm and 6 mm—giving you flexibility to match performance with floor height. In testing they have achieved impact noise reductions of up to 74 dB, which means footsteps, dropped objects and other vibrations are absorbed before they reach the room below. They also help with airborne sound insulation, so voices, music and television noise don’t travel through the structure as easily.

Our Silent Cloud underlays are suitable for a wide variety of flooring types. Use them under floating laminate, click‑fit vinyl planks (LVT), engineered wood and even carpet tiles. Thanks to their moisture resistance and dimensional stability, they can also be installed beneath ceramic tiles or screeds in both domestic and commercial settings. Whether you’re soundproofing an apartment, a home cinema, an office or a music studio, these mats provide a simple roll‑out solution that decouples your finished floor from the subfloor. Once installed, you’ll notice improved comfort underfoot, reduced echo in the room and compliance with stringent UK Part E building regulations and CE standards. The recycled rubber construction also means they’re eco‑friendly and contribute towards LEED and BREEAM green building credits.

Choosing the right underlay is crucial for effective sound insulation.
